Development: Elemental Rp1

摘要

The margins for OEMs in the automotive industry are small, which may explain why partnerships between once-rival manufacturers are becoming the norm as they seek to take advantage of pooled resources and engineering expertise. So it is a surprise when, into such an environment, a new company forms and releases a vehicle of its own. The company in question is Elemental, and the vehicle is the lightweight, road-legal Rp1 sports car-the 'Rp' stands for race project, referencing the founder's past involvement in kit car racing.
